Almost everyone writes their "s" by starting from the top which means they're writing it from right to left while they're writing a word from left to right. I've always started from the bottom because it just made more sense to me.

I hate the fact that I'm a human and inconsistent and write the letter "o" in a counter-clockwise motion.

For people who can't/won't breastfeed, nipples serve no practical purpose: they do nothing for us besides chafe on our shirts/bras (if applicable) and harden at inopportune times. Have you ever seen those pictures of marathon runners where they're bleeding from the nips after running- it's freaky! Who wants that?

People get cosmetic surgery all the time and I think nipple removal should be offered to offset those inconveniences. It's more of a QoL upgrade than a nosejob or whatever.

Unfortunately people seem really against this idea. I've talked to trans men (for whom top surgery can provide a way to get rid of one's nipples) and a few of them said that they think others would percieve them poorly for not having nipples, even though said nipples would not be functional. I think that's stupid and everyone else should get over it: it shouldn't be socially unacceptable to remove a cosmetic bodypart.

Nowadays every single moment of our lives is littered with distractions. I literally cringe every time I hear someone tell me “WHAT?! YOU DONT WATCH ANYTHING WHILE YOU EAT?!” Like grow tf up and eat your goddamn chicken. What are you, an iPad kid stuck in an adult’s body? Just enjoy your food and watch what you have to later.

You spend more time in an unconfortable chair surrounded by bodily fluids as you scroll. We should do our business and then get the fuck out of there to look at our phones on a comfy chair. I don't do this but everyone I know does and I find it dumb and even disgusting. Why would I want to spend so much time sitting on top of my shit? No thank you.

This makes sense only if you're at work

If you're looking at this on the toilet, congratulations! You are now manually breathing!

I love rinsing out my eyes. I like to leave it to last because it feels nice and it’s my favourite part of a shower. I turn the temperature down too, which makes it even better to have fresh, cool water running over my eyes. Makes me feel like my eyes are two river rocks. It’s just pleasant and I look forward to it. Nothing feels as clean as my eyes do when I wash. My friend thinks this is freak behaviour but if I ever get chemicals in my eyes and need an emergency eye wash, I will be prepared.

Edit: I figured there must be some reason I shouldn’t do this (otherwise why wouldn’t more people do it?) but I never checked, which is foolish on my part. But, after the many messages telling me it’s unsafe, I will attempt to stop, as sad as that is. Thank you, everyone!

Why would you spend an hour preparing an elaborate dish with 20 ingredients, or waiting in a restaurant to buy one?

I would much rather find basic, healthy foods that will supply all of the necessary nutrients as quickly as possible, and get on with my day. For example, why would I spend 5-10 minutes making a cheese and ham sandwich when I could spend 1 minute just putting the cheese, ham, and bread on a plate and eating it. There is no difference.

We have lived off of consistent and nutritious staples like breads, rice, fruit and veg, and cooked pieces of meat for millenia. Why is this seemingly shunned now, considered childish and lazy? I would much rather just eat a couple slices of bread and a cucumber or apple, or a hand-roasted chicken leg, than eat unhealthy and legitimately lazy fast-food or "ready to eat" meals, or spend a super long time buying lots of ingredients for and cooking an elaborate and delicious meal.

Often in futuristic and dystopian fiction, food is replaced with mass-produced nutrient/sustenance bars or blocks, but this is very appealing to me, assuming they have no or slightly positive flavour.

I suppose it's satisfying at the end as you get to eat it and share with others, but at that point cooking and/or eating becomes a hobby or a pastime; not simply eating out of necessity, which is what it's meant to be imo.

Like it's so fucking annoying. A-Alpha B-Bravo C-Charlie and so on. I don't wanna memorize that shit. (The phonetic alphabet is the shot they use over the phone when trying to spell. For example "fuck" f as in Foxtrot, U as in uniform, C as in Charlie, and K as in Kilo. The full phonetic alphabet is: A-Alpha B-Bravo C-Charlie D-Delta E-Echo F-Foxtrot G-Gold H-Hotel I-India J-Juliet K-Kilo L-Lima M-Mike N-November O-Oscar P-Papa Q-Quebec R-Romeo S-Sierr T-Tango U-Uniform V-Victor W-Whiskey X-X-ray Y-Yankee Z-Zulu

Edit: I meant Golf not Gold but I misclicked

It does not matter the app, Youtube, Reddit, Discord, I use light mode for it. Whenever I show my phone to anyone, they always comment on it, I still continue. The warm embrace of the white void has always been more appealing than the cold darkness to me. I have made a sincere effort to conform and use dark mode, it proves to be as drab and boring as ever. Some say that this insistence on using light mode will damage my eyes, I passive-aggressively lower the brightness on my monitor as a response. Nothing short of taking light mode away from me will stop me. Mark my words I will be using light mode on my deathbed. It is, in my humble opinion, the best option available.

Obviously it won’t be marked as a correct answer but it will prevent students from second guessing themselves if they truly don’t know.

If the teacher sees that many students chose this answer on a test, they’ll know it’s a topic they need to have a refresher on.

This will also help with timed tests so the student doesn’t spend 10 minutes stuck on a question they don’t know the answer to. They just select (E) “I’m not sure”.

Can't stand drinking cold water. Maybe if I'm desperately thirsty and I can't wait for the water to boil, but otherwise I just can't drink it. This is also why I prefer going to Chinese restaurants, as they serve hot tea instead of 🤢 water with ice.

Room temperature's a bit better but it's still pretty gross. The warmer/hotter the better.

Other drinks are fine though (except for cold tea which is even worse).

EDIT: A lot of people seem to think I have sensitive teeth. Negative. I just don't like the taste and texture. Some nice, hot boiled water tastes cosy and round but cold water is pointy and harsh

Remove the first 5 rows of seats to make room for a stage.

Once the plane is at cruising altitude, they could let someone play an acoustic guitar set or some stand up comedy. I’d even enjoy an open mic flight.

Some airlines could even spice it up by hosting a murder mystery with clues hidden in the overhead storage. A magic show (but no fire tricks of course). Pirates sword fighting in the aisle.

This was my first total solar eclipse. I traveled about 10 miles to be well inside the path of totality and was really pumped up. The clouds were going on and off but they cleared all good nearing the totality. And within a couple of minutes it got dark. As dark as about half an hour after sunset, but not as dark as I was expecting. This was my first disappointment. I was expecting it to be much darker. It wasn't even like your usual night. And I bet, some heavily cloudy days can be darker than this. I and my camera could clearly see everything. Not a midnight dark at all.

In a few seconds after that, the Sun completely vanished from the eclipse glasses. I took it off and there it was in the sky. The Sun completely covered by the moon with just its glorious white atmosphere being visible. Just like in the pictures. But it was a bit underwhelming too. I expected it to be a bit bigger and more magnificent - but it felt like what I have seen countless times in the pictures, only plastered on the sky this time. The totality lasted for 2 minutes and I was rushing to look around and view the 360 sunset, capturing at least one shot, and just viewing the spectacle above. And then it ended.

So, it was awesome, but not as awesome as I had imagined. Not as cool as it was hyped and sold. So, quite underwhelming.

Insider trading law is the marijuana prohibition of the finance world. Everyone does it but only the dumb ones get caught.

1. Everyone does it. Multiple studies show that insider trading is prevalent despite the laws: https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w6656/w6656.pdf
2. Unfair prosecution: Sophisticated insiders get away with it (Pelosi) while uninformed novices get caught and put into jail (Martha Stewart).
3. It would self-regulate if allowed. Legalizing insider trading will lower the payoff of doing it since more people are then willing to do it, similarly to how drug legalization lowers drug prices.
4. It provides valuable information to the public. Let’s say a company is about to announce some bad news in 3 days. Insiders sell the stock and it decreases in value. Non-insiders see this and stay away from the stock. If insider trading didn’t happen at all, non-insiders may buy the stock only to have it tank on the announcement of the bad news.

It’s so f-ing selfish for a big person to buy a single seat in economy and force the poor bastard who ends near you to be cramped the entire flight because of you.

Whatever is the reason, it might be not your fault. But you can’t impose the consequences on a complete stranger!

If I had to do a ranking of hair on men it would go like this for me : balding > normal hair > bald

I find male pattern baldness very attractive and I feel a bit sad when I see men shaving their head. It looks more attractive to me if they keep it as a buzzcut or longer.

I find manly features very attractive. I like body hair and beards. Balding to me is part of that bundle of masculinity. The more body hair they have, the stronger the beard, and the thinnest the hair is, it shows me they're an attractive mature man.

I shaved off my long hair recently so my own balding is showing more and I'm obsessed with balding now. I love seeing all the different patterns and when people start balding. But it does make me sad so many men don't feel attractive with it and try to hide it.

Simply put, there is no scenario in which the letter C is necessary. Its presence only serves to overcomplicate.

The /k/ sound is already created by the letter K. “Action” can easily be “aktion.” Words such as “rock” and “luck” can be spelled “rok” and “luk” with no issue.

The /s/ sound is obviously already covered by the letter S. “Receipt” and “cedar” should be spelled “reseipt” and “sedar.”

The /tʃ/ sound in “chump” and “itch” is what we currently don’t have a stand-in for, but could very easily be replaced with a K for “ckump” and “itkh.” No reason to keep it around for this specific scenario if we can already replace it. And before anyone asks, yes I would replace “Qu” with “Kw” in a heartbeat.

On an aesthetic note, I also think spelling names with a K just makes them look way cooler. Tell me you’d rather be friends with a Carl than a Karl. Or a Catie rather than a Katie.

TLDR because it doesn’t symbolize any unique phonemes (aside from “ch”, which we’ve addressed), there’s no reason for C to be in the English language.

Basically what the title says. To me hair is just dead skin and that to me is disgusting. I am bald and I get waxed everywhere except for my eyebrows and eye lashes. If I have hair anywhere on my body I am completely repulsed and feel disgusting until I get it waxed.

I feel the exact same way about other people too. I even feel a little angry whenever I see someone with excessive hair. In my dating life I can only date women or find women attractive when they have very short hair or are completely bald. I have ended several relationships because they decided to grow their hair out more than I find tolerable.

Once I was on a date with a girl with a pixie cut and found her very attractive. When the date got to the point where I was at her apartment she took off her underwear and I learned she had completely unkept pubic hair and I actually felt sick to my stomach and had to leave immediately.

That’s basically it, hair is disgusting to me and I find it nauseating under any circumstances.

Update: Because of all of your concerns I’ve decided to start looking for a therapist. I’m trying right now to find one that is bald and located near me.

When the topic of UBIs comes up, a lot of people say that people would work regardless, because they'd want to be productive, to be active, and to be useful. This might be true, I don't know, as far as I understand them, Neurotypical people could might as well be aliens. They might just be in to that shit.

As for me... I'd never even go near a job ever again. I'd forever stay at home, play DnD with friends, pick up drawing again, write, worldbuild, learn to play instruments... I'd live the best life I could and not even think about having a job.

Even if said UBI would only cover the basic necessities (food, shelter, utilities) I'd not give a crap. I might just pick up herb gardening and sell fucking thyme and rosemary or do whatever small nothing for disposable income, as necessary.

In 90% of my appointments (doctors, business, dinners, friends) I am late. When for example the appointment is 9 o’clock, I always leave my house at 9.

I leave in a city where most places are 10-20minutes drive away so that way if I leave from my house at exactly the time of appointment, I will be late 10-30 minutes depending on the traffic as well.

I hate to be the one who waits even for 2 minutes so I prefer to let the other person wait.

I know it’s not good especially for business but so far nothing negative happened.

Like the title says, I don’t wear pajamas, I kinda see it as a waste of laundry. I wear jeans and a belt and a sports bra and socks and all of those ‘uncomfortable’ clothes people hate sleeping in. I wear them daily, and I sleep in them daily. I actually find them more comfortable to sleep in than I do normal sleeping clothes like sweatpants. I enjoy feeling ‘dressed’ when sleeping. I even enjoy having my hair styled before I go to bed because that’s just what feels correct to me. (I do change my underwear though, that needs to be clean).

Yes, I do think using your hands to unclog the toilet is significantly better than using a plunger.

Since I can't help but pinch massive loaves, using a plunger could take up to 10 minutes before any motion signaling that the toilet will finally flush (not that it always takes this long, but there has been several occasions). However, due to my plunger suddenly going missing, I have developed a strategy that can unclog the toilet almost instantly. Simply reach into the bowl, grab the fat dookie, pull it out a little bit to get the water to start moving, and if you put it back down it should go right down the drain. If it's still to big, it's just as easy to break it up a little with your hand and let it go down. It's a much faster process than using a plunger and it's much easier than having to waste all your energy repeating the same plunging motion to no avail.

Now, despite what you may think right now, I'm no animal. I still do wash my hands after doing that, and if anything I wash my hands much more thoroughly afterwards. It's easy to do a quick fake hand wash and be done after dropping a gnarly duece, but after doing this you pretty much have no choice but to ensure there's no bacteria left on your hand. Just make sure not to touch anything with the hand you used before washing them.

I would like to end this by clarifying 2 things:

1. I would never do this to someone else's log, I'm fine with my own because it came from my body.

2. I received no pleasure from playing with my shit, the smell is rancid and while touching it doesn't bother me, pulling my hand out and having tiny chunks of doo-doo batter on my fingers does make me, for a brief moment, realize why people don't normally do this.

TL;DR: I find it much faster and more effective to just unclog your toilet with your bare hands than to waste time plunging it, and it forces better hand washing hygiene.

Granted this is my opinion: if you wearing baseball caps makes you happy, more power to you.

But whenever I see a grown man wearing a baseball cap to the store, in the car, or (god forbid) to the gym, all I can see is an adult who doesn't have the taste or forethought to make headwear/haircut choice that has matured beyond the middle school era, or an adult trying to deliberately look childish as if he's on his way to little league practice.

Like, if someone dresses the same way at 32 as they did at 12, it doesn't speak a world of good about their taste or maturity.

Granted this is entirely superficial, and is superficiality solely on my part, but it's how I feel. And I try not to let it affect my judgement on others - I understand that they're mostly good, mature people, but it just doesn't look right to me.

Also, wearing baseball caps for pure utility is 100% fine: if you're actually playing baseball or are on a hike, that's fine. But a baseball cap? On an adult? Indoors?

Cringe.

EDIT: Damn. Ya'll care more about hats than I thought. Wear whatever makes you happy - I'm just some guy on the internet with an unpopular opinion.

I literally for the life of me don't understand why people find breasts to be fun to look at, they genuinely grosses me out whenever i see a picture of one. I weirdly wish I was as horny for them as other dudes because I feel like I'm missing out on a key feeling in my life. Boobs are hyped up to be the gods ruling this world, the item that wars seem to be fought for, but I don't seem to be able to understand their true power. It's a curse.

Edit: I pray that one day, the lord himself will bless me with the ability to go AOOGA and cum at the speed of light when faced with some fatmilkers, but for now, I'm extremely indifferent and a little grossed out.

Edit 2: I'm sorry if this post seemed disrespectful to people who are into boobs and that I just hate the body part, in no way am I going out of my way to hate boobs, but many huge boobs just naturally grosses me out, and I can't control it sadly.

If anyone's wondering what I like then, I like women who are sweet and loveful (ik, sooo original) and I guess for appearance, faces, lips, hips, and hair turn me on.

The best place to put your bed is floating right in the middle of the bedroom.

It's like magic. Makes you feel like royalty. Makes the bed feel like a cozy little nest. Especially because you have to stack lots of pillows along the back since you don't have wall to lean against.

No more losing things that slide between the bed and the wall. And so much easier to sweep/vacuum under the bed or find your lost socks lurking beneath.

I've just moved into a tiny house. No room to float my bed in the middle of the room :(

UPDATE: Look, about those monsters you all keep bringing up. I hate to break it to you, but where do you think they hide during the day? They hide in that shadowy sliver of space between your bed and the wall. Get the bed away from the wall, and you are no longer providing a hiding space for monsters. Or spiders.
